Finally!!! It's working!!!!
Okay, so I tried a different genre. I TRIED! I tried so hard I almost sweated blood. I had the characters worked out, a rough plan, but mates, nothing gelled. They were stilted, I kept coming up blank, the story seemed forced… So after two days of battling it, I shelved it for another time.
So I thought I'd start a BBW romance with a plot I'd been thinking about. It went okay for about 9 pages, then I deleted six of those pages and tried again…and again…and a-freakin'-gain! Look, it was also a no-go. The characters ran out of steam at page 3 every time. So another two days fighting these characters and I realised that this was not working. So shelved THAT story as well for another time!
Then the panic set in. OMG! What am I going to do? I've run out of ideas! My writing mojo is gone! I have NOTHING LEFT TO WRITE!
I stared at the vacant page on the computer and I was starting to freak out. So then I did what I always do and started playing Mahjong with music on, and this lovely tune came on and an idea started forming, then another, and more, and presto! I HAD IT!
So now I'm on Chapter 3 and it's doing well. Still a BBW romance, a new series with new characters & a new town, and a little difference that I hope people will like and accept. I'm giving it a go, so we'll see!!!

Plotting and searching...
Okay, so I have started plotting the next book.
This will be the first book in a new trilogy featuring 3 brothers, and as I've already met the hero and the heroine, I'm expecting this to be a fun write.
Of course, we all know what happens when I start trying to develop these characters, but I'm being optimistic and expecting them to cooperate with me for once. Yes I am. (Who called me a fool? *looks around suspiciously*)
So anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I sacrificed some hours checking out artistic photos of perfect anatomical male figures. I did this very professionally. Because I'm a professional. (I did not use my sleeve to wipe up the drool! Who said that? I'm a PROFESSIONAL! ...I used a tissue...)
Let's just say I found the perfect photos! I know, no need to thank me. It's the least I could do...

New Book, New Series!
Okay, after a lot of debating to and fro (and procrastinating, because I'm so good at it. Seriously, it should be a sport - I'd excel) I have started writing a new book.
Actually, not just a new book, but a whole new BBW contemporary romance SERIES.
Yep, new BBW contemporary romance in a new series! Hoping it all goes well . Got the plot for the first book, a bit of an idea for the second, and was so eager beaver I did the covers for the first two books. So how about that - got the series title, the titles of the first 2 books in the series, and the first 2 covers. Now I just have to actually write the books LOL. Starting the first book today.
Seriously, I thought it about time I pulled my finger out and started a new series. I have a good feeling about this series, but don't want to say too much right now - can't give away everything! But I wanted you all to know that a new romance series is on the way, it's contemporary, and it's - wait, can't say too much *smacking forehead with palm*.
whooo!!!!

New Release Day - NOW!
Yes! The book is done and released into the big wide world!
Secrets is bk 1 in the new Hope Bay series - here's the spiel, folks!
*****************************************************
Welcome to Hope Bay, a small Australian seaside town where dreams come true, some souls come to mend, some to start again, and family and friends mean everything. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and live!
~*~
Working at the local GP Practice was a new beginning for RN Emma. Then along came her new boss, and suddenly her peace of mind - shaky to start with - was thrown into turmoil. Not only does she find him attractive, but she has a secret - a secret that could have unpleasant consequences.
Why, oh why, did he have to come along now?
Shane was instantly bowled over by the pretty, curvy nurse, and not just because she knocked him off his push bike at their very first meeting. It’s going to take more than charm to win this woman’s heart, but he’ll do whatever it takes.
He hadn’t planned on using her cat to get to her, but a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.
But when he discovers her secret, will he believe her…or will any chance at new beginnings and love turn to ashes?
~*~
* Because it has been so long since I had a new release out, and you've all been so patient (which I appreciate!), I have released the book straigth away rather than doing a pre-order. I do hope you enjoy it!
* available now in ebook at Amazon & Smashwords
* available soon in ebook at iBooks, Barnes & Noble and Kobo - check my website ( www.angelaverdenius.com ) for links that I'll put up as soon as they become available.
* paperback coming soon
For those who don't know, the Amazon link on my website is Universal, meaning it sends you to your country's Amazon store. If you prefer, you can still buy from the US store as well.
Hope you enjoy the book!
cheers
